Description
Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations (e.g., key missions, functions). It is detrimental for applications to provide, or install by default, functionality exceeding requirements or mission objectives. Applications must adhere to the principles of least functionality by providing only essential capabilities. DBMSs may spawn additional external processes to execute procedures that are defined in the DBMS but stored in external host files (external procedures). The spawned process used to execute the external procedure may operate within a different OS security context than the DBMS and provide unauthorized access to the host system.

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-220361r960963_chk)

Verify whether external executables are being used. If so, check with the ISSO to determine if the use of the external executables (MLSQL/odbc client and Converters) is authorized. If it is not, this is a finding. To check for Converters, issue the following command at a command prompt with a user that has administrative privileges. > sudo yum info MarkLogicConverters If the command returns information on the version of MarkLogic converters installed, and use of this package has not been authorized, this is a finding. To check for MLSQL/odbc client, issue the following command at a command prompt with a user that has administrative privileges. > sudo yum info mlsqlodbc If the command returns information on the version of MLSQL odbc client install, and use of this package has not been authorized, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-22065r401535_fix)

If the use of the included external executables (MLSQL/odbc and/or CONVERT) is not authorized by the ISSO then remove the executables from the MarkLogic installation directory, find the executables by name for the different operating systems. To remove Converters, issue the following command at a command prompt with a user that has administrative privileges. > sudo yum remove MarkLogicConverters To remove MLSQL/odbc client, issue the following command at a command prompt with a user that has administrative privileges. > sudo yum info mlsqlodbc
